1.5.6 Preview is up

"- Your "Home location" is now properly shown on the World Map
(if it exists -- the Home location of new users is no longer
automatically set, it must be set manually)."





Just trying to understand this. Where do newbies go when they die, if they haven't set Home manually?

Also, does this mean that the "home" functionality is lost for all users who never buy land or join a group with land?

Also, the current system let's me "keep" my Home setting even after I sell the land I set it to originally. If the reason for this change for the newbie is to not allow Home without owned land, then should my Home setting become unset after I sell me land?

i boated between void7 and void8 for several minutes before they crashed. i hope i get my lucious speedboat back in lost & found or i'll be crying i will.

I tried it this morning to see what it was like and was the only person in there. I flew to the far edge of the south void sim, then teleported back to Da Boom. Once there I couldn't walk properly, I was just shooting across the land, no walk animation or anything. So it looks like teleports aren't working properly in this preview. I did have one attachment on and only a couple of prims of that rezzed properly.

I beleive that when you first teleport from orientation island, your teleport point becomes your home.

Most newcomer's home point is the welcome area, but if you were an alt and teleported somewhere else using the map, that location would become your home.

I stress tested the preview with my infamous 6000+ prim outfit. It didnt't hold together very well
I tried crossing a sim border really slow. Like, gently tapping forward once every couple of seconds. No go. I got the latest variant of the "stuck between sims" bug. I could apparently fly everywhere just fine and the coords updated properly but I couldnt teleport at all, gave me the same old error. And I could go through other avs, and through the edge of the world at will.

I flew around a bit, np, seem to be the only one in the preview. I tried tping to the two sims that aren't on the mainland in the nw. It said a couple of times I couldn't go closer than I already was which is silly since tping is the only way there. So I went to the far se corner of bonifacio and tried. Then I got a tp blocked message, froze up and couldn't move.

Dang! I should have been there... I couldn't get there properly tho. :|
